How to make navigation arrows outside the slideshow?

Sometimes, you may want the appearance of the slideshow to vary from the default theme. Whilst WOWSlider does not let you re-position the elements of the slideshow, you can manually edit the code to change things. This includes moving the navigation arrows outside the slideshow.

To do this, first build your slideshow as normal. When you are happy with the overall appearance, ‘publish’ your Slider or Save the HTML.

Go to the place where you saved your Slideshow to, and open the folder called ‘engine’. In here is a file called ‘style.css’.

Open this in a plain-text or HTML editor. If you’re unsure, use ‘Notepad’.

You will want to change the values highlighted in red. To move the arrows outside of the slideshow, change it to a negative number, e.g. −40px. To move the arrows closer together inside the slideshow, make the number larger, e.g. 40px. ‘0’ is right on the edge of the slideshow.
